Robert Adams (born May 8th, 1937) is an American photographer who came to prominence as part of the photographic movement known as New Topographics. Adams was born in the industrial town of Orange, New Jersey relocating to Colorado as a teenager with his family. Adams became interested in documenting how the western landscapes of North America, once captured by the likes of Timothy O'Sullivan and William Henry Jackson, had been shaped by human influence. As part of the New Topographics in the 1970s, Adams approach to photographing these landscapes was to take a stance of apparent neutrality, refraining from any obvious judgements of the subject matter.
"The goal is not making art, it's living a life."

Cool blog. I recently became aware of the New Topography movement recently and I love Robert Adams work. Thanks for taking the time to write these articles, I'll be spending some time here for sure.
I have a blog in somewhat of the same vein as yours, it's kind of jumble of mixing art history, painting, photography, poetry, lit, music, film, etc. Check it out if you get a chance
